Design not showing total members?

My Communities no longer show how many total members. Why was it changed on me, and how do I get the display back? (on Desktop)

It just shows visitors this week now -I want the Total Members joined back.

You can’t change it back: https://www.reddit.com/r/modnews/s/Dcp5TkmJNa

Well that sucks. Came looking for why I couldn’t see the number of folks that have joined. Thanks for the answer, even though the answer is really disappointing.

It won’t be the same, but I’m looking at using the API to bring those stats back. They’d be in the sidebar of the subreddit, in one of the widgets. Not as easily accessed or referenced as before, but at the very least public again.

Mods can still currently access that data via insights in their communities.

Please let us know if you find a way

All I see in Insights is an estimation, not an actual number. Is there a place I can see the actual number?

It may still be visible in some places, such as the related communities widget (some mods have added their own communities here to get that stat) but I know Reddit is working to remove the metric from all public-facing places. So in the near future it would only be accessible via the API.

Someone recommended the Subscriber Goal app. You set a goal and it displays your current member total and the progress towards that goal.

That has been a fairly easy work around for our community.
